Consumer Description
I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND ENTERING THE HIGHWAY ON A SLIGHT RIGHT CURVE WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION AND BEGAN QUICKLY DECELERATING, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SHAKE. THE CAR WENT FROM 60MPH DOWN TO ABOUT 30 MPH, ALMOST AS IF IT HAD STALLED OR STOPPED WORKING SUDDENLY. THIS LASTED FR SEVERAL SECONDS, ACCELERATION WAS NOT POSSIBLE AT THIS TIME. VERY DANGEROUS. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE BUT DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. CAR WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 52,000 MILES. I PURCHASED IT CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED ONLY 3 WEEKS PRIOR FROM THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THERE WAS A SECOND SIMILAR INCIDENT 3 WEEKS LATER.
